DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
NS vehicle instrument clusters are equipped with a
self diagnostic test feature to help identify electronic
problems. Prior to any test, perform Self Diagnostic
Test. The self diagnostic system monitors the CCD
bus messages. If an electronic problem occurs, a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be displayed in
the odometer window of the cluster.
The following CCD bus messages are continuously
monitored by the diagnostic system:
²Body Control Module
²Powertrain Control Module
²Transmission Control Module, if equipped
HEADLAMP SWITCH
Using a Digital Multimeter, equipped with a diode
test to perform the Headlamp Switch Test below (Fig.
1).
Switch position possibilities are open (no continu-
ity), continuity, resistance value in ohms, or diode
test. Use the values in the third column to determine
meter setting. If Headlamp Switch is not within spec-
ifications replace as necessary.
The Chrysler Town and Country is available with
optional Automatic Headlamps. For diagnosis, refer
to the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual.
SELF DIAGNOSTIC TEST
To activate self diagnostic program:
(1) With the ignition switch in the OFF position,
depress the TRIP and RESET buttons.
(2) While holding the TRIP and RESET button
turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(3) Continue to hold the TRIP and RESET buttons
until the word CODE appears in the odometer win-
dows (about five seconds) then release the buttons. If
a problem exists, the system will display Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC's). If no problem exists, the code
999 (End Test) will momentarily appear.
DIM TEST
When CHEC-0 is displayed in the odometer win-
dow, the cluster's vacuum fluorescent (VF) displayswill dim down. If the VF display brightness does no
change, a problem exists in the cluster.

CALIBRATION TEST
When CHEC-1 is displayed in the odometer win-
dow, each of the cluster's gauge pointers will move
sequentially through each calibration point. The Cal-
ibration Table contains the proper calibration points
for each gauge. If the gauge pointers are not cali-
brated, a problem exists in the cluster. If any gauge
is out of calibration it will have to be calibrated using
a scan tool (DRB III). Refer to the proper Body Diag-
nostic Procedure Manual for calibration procedures.
ODOMETER SEGMENT TEST
When CHEC-2 is displayed in the odometer win-
dow, each digit of the odometer will illuminate
sequentially. If a segment in the odometer does not
illuminate normally, a problem exists in the display.
ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION RANGE
INDICATOR SEGMENT TEST
When CHEC-3 is displayed in the odometer win-
dow, each segment of the transmission range indica-
tor will illuminate sequentially. If a segment in the
transmission range indicator does not illuminate nor-
mally, a problem exists in the display board.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Operating instructions for the factory installed
audio systems can be found in the Owner's Manual
provided with the vehicle.
NS vehicles are equipped with an Ignition Off
Draw (IOD) fuse in the power distribution center
located in the engine compartment. After the IOD
fuse or battery has been disconnected, the radio sta-
tion sets and clock will require resetting.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ANTENNA
All models use a fixed-length stainless steel rod-
type antenna mast, installed at the right front fender
of the vehicle. The antenna mast is connected to the
center wire of the coaxial antenna cable, and is not
grounded to any part of the vehicle.
To eliminate static, the antenna base must have a
good ground. The coaxial antenna cable shield (the
outer wire mesh of the cable) is grounded to the
antenna base and the radio chassis.
The antenna coaxial cable has an additional dis-
connect, located near the right end of the instrument
panel. This additional disconnect allows the instru-
ment panel assembly to be removed and installed
without removing the radio.
The factory-installed Electronically Tuned Radios
(ETRs) automatically compensate for radio antenna
trim. Therefore, no antenna trimmer adjustment isrequired or possible when replacing the receiver or
the antenna.
INTERFERENCE ELIMINATION
Some components used on the vehicles are
equipped with a capacitor to suppress radio fre-
quency interference/static.
Capacitors are mounted in various locations inter-
nal to the generator, instrument cluster and wind-
shield wiper motor.
To eliminate radio interference, ground straps are
used in different areas of the vehicle. These ground
circuits should be securely tightened to assure good
metal to metal contact. The ground straps conduct
very small high frequency electrical signals to ground
and require clean surface contact area. The radio
ground is supplied from the instrument panel har-
ness and is attached to the rear of the radio. Some
engines have other ground straps to eliminate fur-
ther radio interference:
²Radio chassis to instrument panel structure
²Engine to dash panel
²Engine to chassis
²A/C h valve to dash panel
Radio resistance type spark plug cables in the high
tension circuit of the ignition system complete the
interference suppression. Faulty or deteriorated
spark plug wires should be replaced.
RADIOS
Available factory-installed radio receivers for this
model include an AM/FM/cassette (RAS sales code),
an AM/FM/cassette/5-band graphic equalizer with CD
changer control feature (RBN sales code), an AM/FM/
NSAUDIO SYSTEMS 8F - 1

CD/3-band graphic equalizer (RBR sales code), or an
AM/FM/CD/cassette/3-band graphic equalizer (RAZ
sales code).
All factory-installed radio receivers are stereo Elec-
tronically Tuned Radios (ETR) and include an elec-
tronic digital clock function.
All factory-installed radio receivers, except the
RAS model, communicate on the Chrysler Collision
Detection (CCD) data bus network through a sepa-
rate two-way wire harness connector. The CCD data
bus network allows the sharing of sensor informa-
tion. This helps to reduce wire harness complexity,
internal controller hardware, and component sensor
current loads. At the same time, this system provides
increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics, and
allows the addition of many new feature capabilities.
In addition, radios connected to the CCD data bus
have several audio system functions that can be diag-
nosed using a DRB scan tool. Refer to the proper
Diagnostic Procedures manual for more information
on DRB testing of the audio systems.
The radio can only be serviced by an authorized
radio repair station. Refer to the latest Warranty Pol-
icies and Procedures manual for a current listing of
authorized radio repair stations.
For more information on radio features, setting
procedures, and control functions refer to the owner's
manual in the vehicle glove box.
RADIO IGNITION INTERFERENCE
If receiving ignition/engine interference noise on
the radio stations, check and clean all engine and
body ground connections. Tighten properly after
cleaning. Example (Fig. 1), (Fig. 2), (Fig. 3) and (Fig.
4).
Ensure all ground connections are without corro-
sion.
CHOKEÐINFINITY SPEAKERS
If the audio system is lacking bass response, check
for continuity across the choke connector. If no conti-
nuity Replace choke. The choke is located on the
